Cal-Royal 8635 Touchless Switch for 8600 Series, Short Range Hard Wired

The Cal-Royal 8635 Series Touchless Switch is a short range, hard wired sensor designed for the 8600 Series automated entrance systems. Utilizing capacitance technology, this switch creates a short range detection zone that reduces unwanted activations while offering a touchless design that helps reduce the spread of bacteria, disease, and contamination. Built for commercial applications, the 8635-SW operates on 12/24V AC/DC power, making it a versatile and reliable choice for automated door access control.

Key Features

  • Short Range Detection: The short range detection zone minimizes unwanted or accidental activations for more reliable operation.
  • Flexible Power Options: Operates on 12/24V AC/DC power, providing compatibility with a variety of automated entrance system configurations.
  • Hard Wired Connection: Hard wired design ensures a stable, continuous power connection without the need for battery replacement.
  • Capacitance Technology: Uses capacitance sensing technology to accurately detect activation within its intended range.
  • Touchless Hygienic Design: Touchless operation reduces the spread of bacteria, disease, and contamination, supporting cleaner high-traffic entry points.
  • 8600 Series Compatibility: Engineered specifically for use with the 8600 Series, ensuring proper fit and function within compatible automated door systems.

Cal-Royal CAL-8635-SW – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What's the difference between the Cal-Royal 8634 and 8635 touchless switches?
Shape is the difference in how they are ordered: the 8634 is the round plate and the 8635 is the square plate. Both are short range, hard wired capacitance switches for Cal-Royal 8600 Series automated entrances, and both run on 12/24V AC/DC. Pick the shape that matches the other switches and plates on your openings.
2) What is the closest alternative to the Cal-Royal 8635 touchless switch if I am not running an 8600 Series operator?
The Securitron WSS Wave Sense no-touch switch is the comparable no-touch actuator. The Cal-Royal 8635 is engineered specifically for the 8600 Series automated entrance systems, so on an opening built around a different operator brand the WSS Series switch is the one to look at. If the door is an 8600 Series unit, stay with the 8635 for proper fit and function.
3) Why choose a short range touchless switch instead of a long range one for a hospital corridor?
Short range keeps the detection zone tight to the plate, so people walking past in a busy corridor don't trip the door. That matters in healthcare and high traffic entries where a wide zone means constant nuisance cycling of the operator. The tradeoff is the user has to put a hand close to the plate, which is fine for a wall mounted push point but not for a hands-full approach from several feet away.
4) Does the Cal-Royal 8635 touchless switch need batteries or maintenance for power?
No batteries. The 8635 is hard wired for a continuous connection, so there is nothing to replace on a maintenance schedule. For a fleet of doors that means no battery rounds, but it also means each switch location has to be wired during install.
5) How does the Cal-Royal 8635 compare to the Securitron WSS Wave Sense no-touch switch?
Both are no-touch activation switches for automatic doors. The Cal-Royal 8635 is a capacitance sensor built for the Cal-Royal 8600 Series, hard wired on 12/24V AC/DC, and offered as a square plate (round is the 8634). The Securitron WSS Wave Sense is the WSS Series equivalent from Securitron and is the one to look at if you are standardizing on Securitron hardware rather than Cal-Royal operators.
6) Is a wave-to-open switch the same thing as the Cal-Royal 8635?
They do the same job at the door but sense differently. The Cal-Royal 8635 uses capacitance technology to create a short range detection zone that reduces unwanted activations, and it is hard wired on 12/24V AC/DC. The Securitron WSS Wave Sense is the wave-style no-touch switch in the same category. If your specification calls out a specific sensing method, confirm it before swapping one for the other.
7) I want a battery powered touchless actuator instead of running wire. Can I use the 8635?
No. The Cal-Royal 8635 is a hard wired switch and is not battery operated, which gives it a continuous power connection with no batteries to replace but requires wire to the location. If pulling wire is not practical, look at a different actuator rather than the 8635; within the 8600 Series touchless family the 8635 square and 8634 round models are both the hard wired short range design.
8) Is the Cal-Royal 8635 rated for commercial use or is it a residential switch?
Commercial. Cal-Royal lists the 8635 touchless switch for commercial automated entrances, with typical use in office buildings, healthcare, schools, retail, government buildings and warehouses.
9) What sensing technology does the Cal-Royal 8635 use, and does it work through gloves?
It uses capacitance sensing rather than an infrared beam, which is what creates the tight short range activation zone at the plate. Capacitance switches respond to a hand entering the field near the plate, so approach distance and how close the hand gets drive activation more than what the user is wearing.
